Even though I have not yet gotten to the point of the NOA2, I am trying to plan for the future now so I am not surprised by anything. That being said, I see that many people supply their previous years tax returns for the embassy interview. Is this really required or will the I-134 with supporting evidence from my employer be enough? I do not have any problem meeting the min. income requirements so I don't expect a problem there. But if I need the Tax returns I will need to contact the IRS and have the copies sent to me. (The others got lost in the divorce) :(

Any advice?

Hi there

yep ya need your tax returns fromprevious years..you will have plenty of time to receive them if you ring the irs...

we couldnt find my husbands 2005 original ..we had it at the interview but stuffed if i know where it is..so we went to the irs site and paid $29.95 for a copy of it ..it then gets emailed to you and u download it and print it out...

when you do go for the interview make sure all is given back to you and you put it where you will know where it is for future reference suchas your AOS lol

take care

Like the others...I just called the IRS. The rep was very nice and in about 5 min, I arranged to have transcrips for the last 3 years mailed to me. About 2 weeks later I received them. Now I'm going to my wifes Visa interview on OCT 11th and I feel re-assured that I don't have to worry about it. I suggest you do the same. It's so easy and having that peace of mind is invaluable.

Are the transcripts enough or should I order the actual copies?

Interesting. The I-134 directions page at USCIS does not state a requirement for any past tax returns. It states: The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institution...

B. Statement of your employer on business stationery...

C. If self-employed...

D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of

bonds and name of record owner(s).

Yes, thats the way I read it also. But I don't know if the Embassy will require further info in the packets they send out. (

Thailand: My wife received packet 4 today. Packet 3 stated that no I-134 was needed. That surprised me. I talked with another VJ'er who said that you DO need the I-134. So, I'm going to take transcripts, and a letter from my employer. Maybe I'll take my tax returns, but since I filed them electronically, they have no signature. How can anybody tell if they are real/accurate or not. That is why we have to notorize them. But, heck, I can notorize the I-134 with transcrips and a letter from my employer.

Plz correct me if I´m wrong, but there´s no need to notarize tax copies or transcripts.

Only the I-134.

I just knew someone would say that! I meant the I-134. I got it notorized at my local bank. I'm also taking a non-notorized set to the embassy on interview day.
